Flame graphs are a popular way of representing profiling data. In this paper we propose a possible mathematical definition of flame graphs. In doing so, we gain some interesting algebraic properties almost for free, which in turn allow us…

We consider the problem of classifying graphs using graph kernels. We define a new graph kernel, called the generalized shortest path kernel, based on the number and length of shortest paths between nodes. For our example classification…

Motivated by the burning and cooling processes, the burning game is introduced. The game is played on a graph $G$ by the two players (Burner and Staller) that take turns selecting vertices of $G$ to burn; as in the burning process, burning…

Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have become the leading paradigm for learning on (static) graph-structured data. However, many real-world systems are dynamic in nature, since the graph and node/edge attributes change over time. In recent…

We study several basic problems about colouring the $p$-random subgraph $G_p$ of an arbitrary graph $G$, focusing primarily on the chromatic number and colouring number of $G_p$. In particular, we show that there exist infinitely many…

We demonstrate how to generalize two of the most well-known random graph models, the classic random graph, and random graphs with a given degree distribution, by the introduction of hidden variables in the form of extra degrees of freedom,…

The Hamming graph $H(n,q)$ is defined on the vertex set $[q]^n$ and two vertices are adjacent if and only if they differ in precisely one coordinate. Alon \cite{Alon} proved that the burning number of $H(n,2)$ is $\lceil\frac n2\rceil+1$.…
